Different BIOS's look totally different and use different hotkeys to get into them. it'd be pretty hard for someone to mess with it unless they actually had physical access to your computer. I would guess more than anything that it's a mechanical problem with the cd-rom itself not BIOS or software problem. maybe a small gear in there got offset just enough to make it keep spinning and continually ejecting. I know in my BIOS if i set it to boot from cd-rom it checks both of my drives and boots off of whichever one it can. I would try setting it to that and putting the cd in the dvd-rom. Though i donb't suspect a re-install will help if this is all happening before windows even loads. Are you comfortable opening up the computer and physically removing or replacing the cd-rom? Or do you have any friends who know how? If you know someone with a spare laying around that you can test in this ones place I'd definatly recommend trying that before replacement.
